THE PATH OF DEVELOPMENT
The Ojak gas field was the cause for the formation in 1966 of the center of Turkmen gas workers – the town of Gazojak near the village of Shiharyk. By the end of 1970, 19 large and small gas and gas condensate fields had been discovered on the territory of South-Eastern and North-Eastern Turkmenistan. Of these, the Kukurtli and Minara (Maysk) gas and condensate fields were put into operation in 1970.
